Park in the car park at 103 Rue des Merles in Solaize.
(S/E) Head right along the stadium, then turn left onto Rue du Mourin, and finally right shortly after onto Rue Bel Horizon.
(1) Then take the small path on your right that goes around the houses. Continue straight ahead, then at the next intersection, take the path on the right and follow it straight ahead, leaving a path on your left. Go down the path until you reach the junction with the wider Chemin de la Blancherie.
(2) Follow this path to the right, which becomes paved further on. At the crossroads, follow the path down to the left. Enjoy the bridge over the Ozon and continue along Rue des Pêcheurs until you reach the D149. Cross it very carefully, preferably using the protected crossing. Follow it to the left on the pavement for about 400 m.
(3) Turn right between two houses to follow Chemin de Fontbourse. Stay on this path, leaving the access ramp to No. 3 on your right. Continue to the next junction and take the grassy path on the right to come out onto a tarmac road.
(4) Turn onto the path on the left. Follow it to the next junction, where you should take the path on the right, then continue straight ahead, passing two paths on your left. When you reach a tarmac road, follow it straight ahead to the next junction.
(5) Take the road on the left with its central island. Then take the first path on your right and follow it, passing a path on your left.
(6) Further on, turn right along a copse onto a path that climbs through a field. Follow this path to a tarmac road, which you should take to the left for a few dozen metres. Then turn onto the path on the right marked "La Talonne". Keep to the left a little further on and continue, passing a blocked path on the right. Take the next path, passing through the barrier, and keep right until the next junction.
(7) Turn right onto the path, going straight ahead and ignoring the crossroads. You will come to a tarmac road after passing through a barrier. Go through the other barrier, going up to your right.
(8) At the next intersection, take the path on the left. Continue until you reach the junction with a tarmac road (Rue de la Grande Borne). Cross it carefully and go up on your right, passing a junction.
(9) Then take the path with a barrier on your left. Follow it straight ahead into the woods, passing a table on your right. Keep to the right at the next junction and then to the left shortly afterwards: the IGN map is incorrect here. Carefully descend the log staircase to reach a tarmac road (Rue des Verchères). Go down it on the left to the next intersection. Go up the street a little on the right.
(10) Turn left onto the narrow path between the houses. Then, at the junction with a tarmac road, go down it on the left until you reach the traffic lights, cross the junction towards the Church of Saint-Maurice de Sérézin du Rhône.
(11) Cross Avenue du Dauphiné carefully and follow Rue de l'Ozon, almost opposite, alongside the church. You will pass the former Norev miniature car factory, well known to older residents. Continue to the bridge over the Ozon and its small dam.
(12) In the bend and in front of the "Solaize" sign, take the path on the left. Follow it along the Ozon to the junction with a tarmac road, then take the path going up to the right.
(13) Then cross the tarmac road (Rue Gilbert Descrottes) and take the path opposite, which climbs gently at first and then more steeply.
(14) Be sure to take the discreet path that descends slightly to your left before a big climb. Follow it, keeping to the right as you climb until you reach a tarmac road. Continue to the right, passing a barrier, then go straight on to Rue de la Charrière. Follow this street straight ahead, crossing an intersection. At the end of the street, turn right onto Rue des Éparviers, then immediately left onto Rue des Merles to return to the car park where you started (S/E).
